This breakfast is not only delicious but it’s also great for you. Teff is a higher protein grain, with all nine essential amino acids. You can add almonds and blueberries to the recipe that adds important minerals, antioxidants, vitamin E and scrumptious taste!
Our community member Timothy K. submitted a recipe that brought a new spin to the Mean Green Juice. He was inspired to make the Mean Green Hulk to super charge his body with high vibrational veggies and vitamins. They always say you are what you eat, but Timothy wants to change perspective to…you are what you drink!
It’s not only heart health month but since today is Valentine’s Day, this month is abuzz with the color red. So for obvious reasons, we focused on red foods this week! Red fruits and veggies are loaded with powerful, healthy antioxidants. Enjoy these refreshing and nutrient-rich snacks with your children after school today.
A bright and cheery, high antioxidant pomegranate salsa served with sweet quinoa dosas will have your kids smiling from ear to ear.
This smoothie is perfectly sweetened with dates, one of the best all-natural sweeteners. They are a good source of fiber as well as an excellent source of potassium and other vitamins and minerals.
I wanted to make a pretty pink juice to celebrate this special week for Valentine’s Day! I was admiring pink vegetables and fruits this week so I thought a nice blush juice would be a great juice to make. This juice contains high amounts of lycopene, carotenes such as lutein and zeaxanthin, anthocyanins, potassium, and pectins which are shown to have many health promoting benefits in the form of soluble fiber such as a decrease in heart disease and LDL “bad” cholesterol.
I can’t think of a better excuse than Valentine’s Day to make raw chocolate. Not that I need an excuse, but making the raw chocolate into heart-shaped delicious treats just makes it that much more special. Make these for your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day and they will be feeling the love.
Kick off your Mardi Gras celebration with this fresh, light, gluten-free salad. Bright with festive colors and crisp, clean flavor, it’s a salad you can enjoy and feel good about.
This weekend, we found Nemo (the blizzard) so what else is there to do but cook up but a warm hearty soup? I love this recipe not only because it is delicious, but the addition of the spinach takes drab split pea soup and turns it into a bowl of gorgeous green.
Community member Jesse C. shared a wonderful breakfast juice that’s full of Vitamin C with a refreshing citrus flavor. If you’re used to starting your morning with a glass of orange or grapefruit juice, then this is a drink for you.

Now that it finally feels like summer here in the U.S. I've been on the lookout for a light and energizing smoothie. One that tastes good on a hot day and gives me the boost I need to make it through the city's (sometimes sweltering) heat. After a few rounds of experimenting in the kitchen I think I finally nailed it. It's light in taste and texture so it won't leave me feeling super full but it leaves me full of nutrients.

Loaded with beets, kale, oranges and carrots, this juice is packed with nutrients and folate (it contains approximately 240 mcg of folate per glass, which is more than half an adult's daily folate requirement) It's an excellent boost for me too since I am pregnant and my daughter Grace loved it! Get the recipe.
